We think the Design Build Process is the best way to get the results you want when renovating your home. Because of the greater efficiencies and enhanced communication, it’s the only way we work. We don’t build other company’s plans.
The goal of Design Build is to deliver a project that exceeds your expectations. With both design and building functions under the same roof, there is no placing blame or finger pointing between architect and contractor. There are no endless rounds of phone calls. When there’s a challenge, we just get to work and solve it.
We start with your budget and work back from there. During the design phase we help you prioritize what you want with what you can afford and try minimize that gap as much as possible. Often architects don’t make budgets a top priority and then home builders can be surprised at the construction phase. With Ritz Design Build, we quote a single price for everything—all fees, construction costs, utilities, landscaping allowances–at the very beginning. There are no surprises.
This happens all the time when you work with a separate architect and general contractor: during construction there is a question on the design. So the foreman has to ask the project manager to call the architects’s office. It can take days to get a message. At Ritz, our construction foreman calls our designer and gets the answer pronto. No work is delayed. No budgets stretched.
We’re obsessed with aesthetics like a designer. We’re also keep our eye on the budget like a builder. We’re designers that think like builders and builders that think like designers.
The Design Build process gets the customer involved in the process early on and keeps them engaged. With your continual input and constant communication, you won’t be surprised at any phase of the process. (Except at the end, you don’t have any idea how much you’ll love your new home until you see it complete!)
Our designer has worked with our builders for over ten years. There are no inefficiencies when plans are passed off. A seamless process has been created and they make it look easy. If there are questions, they feel comfortable bringing up issues. (We’re avoiding the big egos sometimes associated with the design industry.)
You have a single project manager to take you through the process. From design, through permitting, to building. Just think all the people you would have to call if you did this yourself: The architect, the architect’s assistant, the general contractor, the sub contractors, the guy down in the permitting office. We’ll take care of everything. You’ll be happy. It’s that simple.
Design Build is all about value engineering. The integration of both design and build practices creates efficiencies and helps save time—and money. With fewer parties to content with, decisions can be made and communicated more quickly. While a Ritz Design Build project may not necessarily be the cheapest bid on a project, we guarantee you’ll receive the greatest value for your dollar.
